Painting the Northern Territory

Daly Water's Pub Northern Territory.

The Daly Waters Pub, painted in flow formula acrylic, above image, by myself, artist Kathy Shell.

This pub is situated just off the main highway. It is a must visit for a barra and beef dinner with entertainment and a cheap overnight camp. There are clean showers, if you are happy to share with the cute frogs peeking out from behind the cistern to watch you.

The entertainment is fantastic.
The pub humour is topical, and about the location: If you stay more than one night, they say that they will make you the town mayor as the town's longest staying citizen.

Us gray gypsy travellers leave the suburbs for the peace of the bush and then wake everyone up before dawn with the screech or eek eek eek as we wind up the stabilizing feet on the caravan to be ready to roll out after breakfast, to rush to the next overnight campsite before dusk.

The Daly Waters' Pub is Hopping with Music and Frogs.

Relax in a palm fringed thermal pool or hot springs.

Northern Territory Flag

Saltwater crocodiles are now abundant in the waterways of Kakadu to the east and the Kimberly to the west of here and the Gulf country to the north.

The current policy in Katherine is to remove any saltwater crocodiles that migrate to this area so they can try to keep the waterways safe for locals and tourists.

The fishing with a hope of catching a barramundi from the Katherine river banks is popular, as is sitting around in groups in the pleasantly tepid water sharing travel stories, swimming and walking along the banks of this beautiful river.

Open Mystery

Ruth Randall's novel "A Judgement in Stone," opens with this line.
"Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write."
In open mystery novel, the reader knows who the murderer is, from the beginning; the mystery is why, and how, they did it, and if they will be caught.
In The Stolen Years series of novels, the reader has a view of who commits many of the crimes. There is plenty of suspense while no one else suspects who the murderer is.
